Someone must have, there's a kit available here http://www.pes-tuning.com/ from $6500 before shipping. Think there's a UK agent as these turn up on ebay every now and again?

Serious wedge to spend, but the performance increase looks pretty solid

Botang will be picking up his SC 32V any day now. The PES kit is for the 40V (mainly S6) bu should fit our 40V 8s. My SC project is stalled atm. May change direction and do TBs....................
